Because I had to work Labor Day weekend, I am taking my long weekend starting now. So here is a bonus set of quotes.
Daniel Silva, born 1960, is an American journalist and author. Silva has written 20 spy novels, all best-sellers on The New York Times list. The main focus is Gabriel Allon, an Israeli spy and assassin whose cover work is as an art restorer. He is a key figure in all but three of Silva’s titles. The series has been a New York Times bestseller since its first installment in 2001. Seven of the series titles hit number one on The New York Times list. Some are set against Islamic terrorism, some relate to villains set in Russia, and some are about historic events related to World War II and the Holocaust. Behind them all is the Mossad, the Israeli Secret Service, among the most feared in the world. In the years following the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre of Israeli athletes, the Mossad hunted down and killed every one of the terrorists who were known to be involved.
"It’s easier to leave a dead man on the sidewalk than to try forcing a live one into a getaway car".
“The secrets of survivors are not easily surrendered. They are locked away behind barricaded doors and accessed at great risk to those who possess them.”
“In the online age, it was more important to live out loud than to live with dignity.”
“If you live to seek revenge, dig a grave for two". ancient Jewish proverb
“But that’s the beauty of American cable news, darling. It doesn’t have to be credible. It just has to be entertaining.”
“The Germans are fond of saying that only Austria could convince the world that Beethoven was an Austrian and Hitler was a German.”
“When you’re dealing with Switzerland, Mr. Allon, it’s best to keep one thing in mind. Switzerland is not a real country. It’s a business, and it’s run like a business. It’s a business that is constantly in a defensive posture. It’s been that way for seven hundred years.”
